2012 Map of The Wall

About this map

Lunar Lake dominates the southwestern corner of this desert landscape, its broad basin serving as a natural terminus for the seasonal drainage of Sand Springs Wash. The terrain is defined by stark geological formations, including the prominent ridge of The Wall and the distinct outcrop of Black Rock to the north. Water in this arid environment is channeled through the Narrows Catch Basin and sourced from isolated points like Barney Spring, reflecting the sparse but critical hydrologic network of central Nevada. A single highway, 6, cuts diagonally across the upper portion of the quadrangle, providing the primary connection through this expansive territory where the landform itself dictates the path of travel and infrastructure.
